We all feel very sorry for them, I'm sure.


Local telcos are, of course, all against this, and use
any and every excuse to get these exchanges busted - a procedure that
typically involves having the local police raid the exchange.



One method that makes raids difficult is that the landing site for
these

calls is often a satellite dish (for the international side) combined
with

GSM phones (for the local side).



Wow, VoIP+sat+GSM, that must add up to close to 1500 ms delay! That
can't be any fun.
